Re: Francesa

Is there a missing link or video/audio or something on this thread?

Francessa is terrible but I like WFAN in general. And now that ESPN is on FM it's like they died to me because the sound is terrible on FM for talk radio and I can't program a button for it on radios at home because it's on a different band than the AM stations. So I just listen 100% to WFAN now or no sports talk at all

Its talk is solely focused on NY sports which is great if thats the teams that you follow. ESPN has too many national shows on. Do I really want to hear about Kentucky basketball or Tennessee football in the summer?

If you like commercials and promos and 3 updates of useless information an hour, I guess its ok.

That's my biggest knock on 660, they treat the 20/20 updates as programming when everyone else treats them as commercials. Memo to WFAN, we have the INTERNET, you know, that thing 90% of us have on our phones with us at all times. People already know the scores, they should just update on the radio once an hour, or at worst every 30 minutes. Get out of the stone age for gods sake.

And not just that, but the 20/20's are long, ESPECIALLY the overnight sports flashes. They were very useful twenty years ago before the internet's explosion and smart phones, a time when people would call a company to receive the sports scores. It's time for a change. I think ESPN has the right idea. A short sports update every thirty minutes that only covers the super relevant news.
